High Peak Marathon 2010

Some years ago I ran in the High Peak Marathon. We didn’t make it round on that occasion, but I do remember that it is a race with a character of it’s own. Start times run from 10pm onwards, so for the runners a large proportion of the 42mile race takes place in the dark.

A few of the pictures below, and the rest in the gallery clicky here.

Lantern Pike Fell Race 2009

The Lantern Pike Fell race, last of the Hayfield Championship series. A fast 5 miles with just over 1000 feet of up and down. Won by Simon Coldrick in 33:20 who was way ahead of the rest of the field. Still the record set in 1977 still survives.

Click here for the 100 pics already up, a few more still to sort through.

Results can be found here.

Fellrunner Magazine Photos

Several of my pictures were published in the Summer edition of Fellrunner magazine.

The front cover, a picture of my mate Simon Coldrick heading for the summit of Lantern Pike.

Plus a selection of others that I took at the May Queen Fell race, Mount Famine and the Lantern Pike dash which were used for a photo essay on the “Three Days in May” Hayfield race series organised by Pennine Fell Runners

There’s even a picture of my lad in his first ever fell race. :)

The rest of the races pictures can be found in the gallery.

I’ve been busy sorting some pictures for a forthcoming MBR magazine article, but managed to nip over the hill to take a few shots of a local fell race.
